This follow-up course to EMAT 4680/6680, as outlined on this web
site, and is an extension of EMAT 4680/6680 in at least two senses. First, the
course aims to develop more depth with the use of various software applications
to engage in mathematics investigations, to organize pedagogical
demonstrations, and to set up problem explorations. The emphasis here is on
mathematical investigations through the presentation of essays. Second, it
emphasizes the development of units of material (e.g. sequences of lessons)
that might be used with secondary school students.

The students use application software owned by the Department of
Mathematics Education and carry out the course using primarily MacIntosh
computers. The emphasis is on exploration of various mathematics contexts to
learn mathematics, to pose problems and problem extensions, to solve problems,
and to communicate mathematical demonstrations.
